Manual to electric conversion in County Londonderry: the essentials

A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.

Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.

Features to choose from

  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Single-visit fitting in most cases
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Options for heavy steel curtains

Covering County Londonderry

We cover County Londonderry from Derry/Londonderry to Coleraine and Limavady, with 3 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Northern Ireland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Northern Ireland

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations, by a qualified electrician. Northern Ireland has its own building regulations, and any building control requirement for the work is confirmed with your council.

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

Do I need an electrician?

The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.

Will it still open in a power cut?

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
